THREADS is more than simply a feel-good program<\/h1>\n

based on anecdotal evidence. THREADS is deeply grounded in empirical research and data regarding the factors that promote healthy development for historically disenfranchised children of color.<\/p>\n

THREADS mentors are interviewed and selected<\/h1>\n

from the most promising, talented, and dedicated undergraduates among dozens of interviewees every year. Those undergraduate mentors then receive rigorous training and support on how to partner with and support urban males of color.<\/p>\n

The undergraduate mentors meet with<\/h1>\n

Dr. Matthews and other instructors for two hours weekly to read and discuss cutting-edge research on the social, cultural, and academic development of Black and Latinx youth within the context of urban education. That research content is then turn-keyed into activities, discussions, and other curricula that the mentors implement with their mentees at the school later in the week.<\/p>\n

THREADS currently serves Black and Latinx youth at several middle school sites throughout Newark, New Jersey. However, we hope to continue expanding to more schools and beyond Newark in order to make a wider impact. THREADS also serves the undergraduate college students that work as mentors, providing knowledge and resources to help them better support the learning and development of historically underserved children. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

They taught us like many things we\u2019re supposed to know to be successful in life\u2026 It helped me, because it gave me life lessons and it gave me knowledge that I would need to like be the man I am today, like assume that responsibility. It gives me knowledge like emotional knowledge. It gives me, like the knowledge that they give me is, makes me wiser. It makes me more calm.<\/p>\n

THREADS was fun, but it wasn\u2019t only fun; we also learned life skills that maybe we would need later on in life like leadership, taking responsibility, and being respectful\u2026 We met new people, so like the mentors, and we [i.e., the students] were all in the same school really, but people didn\u2019t really talk. And THREADS brought everyone together\u2026 THREADS taught us to be responsible, and to be more humble, and to be respectful to others. Now we hand in work on time and we\u2019re more, I\u2019m more respectful to the teachers.<\/p>\n

Students who are currently in the program look forward to Thursday afternoons when they get to work with the THREADS mentors. Our current 7th graders [i.e., last year\u2019s mentees] rave about the experience and can be heard referring back to the THREADS core values when dealing with challenging situations\u2026 [THREADS] is an experience that they will never forget.<\/p>\n

I have had the pleasure working with THREADS for two years within two different school settings, both with different demographics. While both populations served underprivileged communities, the specific need of each was unique\u2026 The program provided mentorship, guidance, concrete strategies, engagement, and HOPE to dozens of students. I would not hesitate to recommend THREADS to adolescent boys across the country. What THREADS offers is desperately needed.<\/p>\n
